I saw this photo about the occupy protest. As a child of the 60’s it struck a note for me. I tried to find a 60’s image with a protester wearing a gas mask but I kept coming back to this iconic image from Kent State.
I lived through the 60’s but not without a certain amount of residual damage. I for certain never was able to trust politicians and point of fact I only voted for the first time in my life in the most recent presidential election.
I still don’t trust authority, especially when it comes to them making the choice over our welfare over their pockets, recent contact with the Marcellus Shale underscoring my point. It just seems to me…
The more things change…
the more they stay the same.
